texts, listenings, explanations, and exercises, which have clear aims and
are highly accessible for thorough classroom exploitation.

'Harriet Smith has no family and no money. Robert Martin was a good match for
her, Emma. Until she met you, she thought of nothing better for herself, but you have
filled her head with ideas of high society and of how beautiful she is.'
Emma Woodhouse is beautiful, clever and rich. She has never thought of
getting married herself. Instead, she amuses herself by trying to arrange marriages
between her friends and neighbours. But Emma makes a lot of mistakes and causes
more problems than happy marriages.

The very idea of an encyclopedia seems eminently anthropological—in at least two
different ways. In its earliest use in classical Rome the term ‘encyclopedia’ referred to the
‘circle of learning’, that broad knowledge of the world which was a necessary part of any
proper education. In its employment in post-Renaissance Europe it has come to refer
more narrowly to attempts to map out systematically all that is known about the world.

This book brings together many authoritative scientific and technological papers
which demonstrate the way in which systematic studies can help decision-makers
understand the linkages between land- and water-use practices and their impacts on
coral reef processes and structure.

Long terminal repeats (LTR) of endogenous retroviruses com-prise about 8% of human genome. Typical LTR contains a set
of regulatory elements: promoters, enhancers, polyadenilation
sites, which can take part in neighbouring genes expression regu-lation.

The phrases below are all given in the dictionary as examples of a phrase in which the first element is likely to undergo stress shift. Each phrase could be expressed in a longer form, with a relative clause: e.g. next-door neighbours = neighbours who live next door. Listen to the example on the cassette, and notice the difference in stress when 'next-door' is in final position: ˌnext-door ˈneighbours = neighbours who live ˌnext ˈdoor Express each of the phrases below in a similar way. When you say the two versions, be careful to stress correctly the element in final...

Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is an extended exercise in the use of Point of View camera and
editing. The entire film takes place in one location as the main character is confined to a wheel chair
and observes the world through his window. Throughout the film, we see events through the
viewpoint of the main character as he spies on his neighbours. In this scene, a series of point of view
shots allow us to see a murder mystery unfold.
